Study Guide: Session 4Name: Readings Covered: Transforming Vision, chapter 5Why College Matters to God, chapter 51. Ostrander states in Why College Matters to God that he learned as a child that redemption basically meant “accepting Jesus into your heart so you can go to heaven” (87). But, he argues, this is not a whole understanding of redemption. Based on your readings this week, what does this common view of redemption miss? (There are many ways you could answer. Use your brain and books and all will be well.)I think that redemption is something that extends farther that just being saved as an individual. Redemption extends to your everyday life and how you live, which is why we live a Christian life,God dying on the cross was just the beginning of our redemption story. It was the turning point for us and the most important aspect that has now allowed us to prepare for when Christ comes again.2. Walsh and Middleton address the idea of Redemptive History at the beginning of chapter 5. You can find a definition for this term in the box below, but please list some examples of Godbreaking into human history with covenants of redemption.Two examples that we see in the Old testament are the Covenant of Noah where God promisedto never destroy the earth with a flood and the Covenant of Abraham where God promised to make Abrahams descendant’s the people of God and give them the promise land.

What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
